Since a day has 86400 seconds, the fractional part corresponds to n*(1/86400). For instance, {^1899-12-30 00:00:01} is 0.000011574074074 (approximately).

Reverting:

LOCAL Now AS Datetime
LOCAL NumericDate AS Number

SET DECIMALS TO 9

m.Now = DATETIME()
m.NumericDate = (TTOD(m.Now) - {^1899-12-30}) + (m.Now - DTOT(TTOD(m.Now)))/86400

? m.Now,m.NumericDate,CAST(m.NumericDate + {^1899-12-30} AS T)
